People should be careful before discussing their "plan B" in public. Anything said that can be tied back to you, and may be interpreted to violate immigration law could cause you to lose a TN visa. This is particularly important with DHS ramping up their use of social media monitoring.
It must be noted that the TN status will only be granted if the period of stay is *temporary*.
If the USCIS or a CBP officer has evidence / reason to believe that a TN applicant has intentions to immigrate to the US, then the USCIS or the CBP officer can deny that applicant entry. I wouldn't be surprised if the USCIS or the CBP would consider an individual holding a TN making statements of a similar nature within the United States to merit the corresponding consequences.
It could also trigger a bar to entering the country for several years (or potentially obtaining any immigration benefit indefinitely) if they believe you misrepresented your intentions when applying for the visa in the first place.
Not a lawyer.
My company’s legal advice was that the TN work permit is in a separate legal treaty from NAFTA so it would take congress and additional time (and warning) for the work permit to be revoked, even if NAFTA was repealed today.
Did anyone else look at this subject line and wonder why credit card holders in Tennessee should have particular reason to be worried about something, as compared to those of us in other states here in the US.
